About My Clients
Though I work with most issues, I specialize in helping people who have difficulty with vulnerability in close relationships, accessing their full emotional range, and lacking a solid sense of their identity. My additional strengths center around working with Asian American Pacific Islander and minority issues such as cultural identity, family conflict, and intergenerational trauma. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist. In-person appointments available in New Jersey and online across 42 states.
My Background and Approach
My approach to therapy is from an Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), emotion-focused, trauma-informed, and culturally-competent lens. I believe therapy is less about changing who people are, and more about helping them understand and unburden the parts of themselves that have gotten in the way of healing. I am collaborative and interactive in session. I work with clients to build insight, boundaries, self-compassion, acceptance, and recognize patterns to choose options that better align with their values in life and relationships. I recognize the importance of processing past experiences as well as teaching specific, concrete skills to help reduce current symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma. As such, I also integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based approaches into psychotherapy.
